Week of police violence alarms Greater Lisbon

In the weeks after the publication of the Amnesty International report that came back to accuse the Portuguese police of torture, two videos that witness episodes of police violence are shocking the public.

ARTICLE | JUNE 3, 2012 - 17:59

Police in Santa Marta de Corroios, where Antonio Mendes was taken and left hours later by ambulance to the emergency room.
The Amnesty report speaks of mistreatment and torture by the police and pointed out the "little accountability" that are subject to their authors.And judging by the reaction of the PSP to the two episodes of torture at the police station have been reported in recent days, it seems that the situation will continue.

One case occurred on the south bank of the Tagus on the night of May 27 and the victim was Antonio Mendes, 46, who was waiting with some friends to coffee output companion where she worked. A police patrol came and asked them the documents, that Antonio did not bring with you. It was then beaten by uniformed and plainclothes police officers, after taking in the eyes with pepper spray, with neighbors shouting to stop the beating.
One of them recorded with cellphone pictures, videos that were shared in the very social networks and reported the situation. Anthony was taken to the police station in Santa Marta de Corroios and there have been brutally beaten by the police call an ambulance that took him to the hospital Garcia da Orta, where he was received at 6:18 a.m. the following morning.
In the explanation that the PSP has to SIC by email, Anthony would have been a violent and from various objects within the squad and will be prosecuted by the police. But no reference police message once the need for which a calling ambulance. Indeed, the PSP in the statement omits the fact that he called the ambulance.

The other case occurred on the morning of that weekend, when Benedicta Machado came home on the train of Cascais with friends. According to the report of the girl was approached by agents still inside the train to be sleeping with his feet on the bench. Already in Oeiras station, saw one of his friends being assaulted by police on the platform and tried to help him, was also attacked and "dragged to the police station." There the situation worsened and Benedetta accusing a senior officer of the assaulting. "He touched me with violence to the wall and put his knuckles to my throat with such force that the next day I could not eat," said the young to the SIC.
Again, the PSP said that both the SIC as the young friend rioted during the trip and that there is only one auto offense against them, which will only take effect if the transport authority wants to move forward. In the police response there is no word about the attacks.
Another case of the week came from a traffic ticket in Lisbon, which resulted in detention facilities with at least disproportionate.
Dozens of officers were mobilized to arrest a citizen who had just been fined and intending to contest the fine. The escalation of tension was greater because the citizen had a son in her arms and agents eventually withdraw from him by force and then stop the father with violence, discontent among the dozens of bystanders who witnessed that new situation. One of them made a video with images of the police to wrest her son from her arms and throw him to the ground and the moments following, with the child in shock to the neck of an agent to see his father being handcuffed and being placed inside the patrol car of the PSP.
The scandal that led to the pictures on social networks have led to choose PSP Facebook to make its version of events. Police say the citizen insulted the agent, who in turn called for reinforcements to arrest him, "with the utmost care" and "not being able to scan any image of violence."

Semana de violência policial alarma Grande Lisboa

Na semana após a publicação do relatório da Amnistia Internacional que voltou a acusar a polícia portuguesa de tortura, dois vídeos que testemunham episódios de violência policial estão a chocar a opinião pública.

ARTIGO | 3 JUNHO, 2012 - 17:59

Esquadra de Santa Marta de Corroios, para onde António Mendes foi levado e saiu horas depois de ambulância para as urgências hospitalares.
O relatório da Amnistia fala de maus tratos e tortura por parte dos agentes policiais e assinala a "pouca responsabilização" a que são sujeitos os seus autores. E a avaliar pela reação da PSP aos dois episódios de tortura na esquadra que foram denunciados nos últimos dias, tudo indica que a situação se manterá.

Um dos casos ocorreu na margem sul do Tejo na noite de 27 de maio e a vítima foi António Mendes, de 46 anos, que aguardava com alguns amigos a saída da companheira do café onde trabalhava. Uma patrulha policial aproximou-se e pediu-lhes os documentos, que António não trazia consigo. Foi então agredido por polícias fardados e à paisana, depois de ter levado com gás pimenta nos olhos, com os vizinhos a gritarem para pararem com o espancamento. Um deles gravou imagens com o telemóvel, vídeos que foram muito partilhados nas redes sociais e denunciaram a situação. António foi levado para a esquadra de Santa Marta de Corroios e ali terá sido brutalmente espancado até a polícia chamar uma ambulância que o levou ao hospital Garcia da Orta, onde deu entrada às 6h18 da manhã seguinte.

Na explicação que a PSP deu à SIC por email, teria sido António a ter um comportamento violento e a partir vários objetos dentro da esquadra, pelo que será processado pela polícia. Mas a mensagem policial não refere uma única vez qual a necessidade de ter chamado uma ambulância. Aliás, a PSP omite no comunicado o facto de ter chamado a ambulância.

O outro caso ocorreu na madrugada do mesmo fim de semana, quando Benedita Machado regressava a casa no comboio da linha de Cascais com amigos. Segundo o relato da jovem, foi abordada por agentes ainda no interior do comboio por estar a dormir com os pés em cima do banco. Já na estação de Oeiras, viu um dos seus amigos ser agredido pela polícia na plataforma e tentou auxiliá-lo, sendo também agredida e "arrastada para a esquadra". Ali a situação agravou-se e Benedita acusa um agente graduado de a ter agredido. "Encostou-me à parede com violência e encostou os nós dos dedos dele à minha garganta, com tal força que no dia seguinte não consegui comer", disse a jovem à SIC.

Também aqui, a PSP disse à SIC que tanto a jovem como o amigo causaram distúrbios durante a viagem e que apenas existe um auto de contra-ordenação contra eles, que só terá efeito se a autoridade dos transportes quiser avançar. Na resposta policial não há uma palavra sobre as agressões.

Outro caso da semana teve origem numa multa de trânsito em Lisboa, que resultou numa detenção com meios, no mínimo, desproporcionados. Dezenas de agentes foram mobilizados para deter um cidadão que tinha acabado de ser multado e pretendia contestar a coima. A escalada da tensão foi tanto maior porque o cidadão tinha o filho ao colo e os agentes acabaram por retirar-lho à força e em seguida deter o pai com violência, para descontentamento das dezenas de transeuntes que testemunharam aquela situação inédita. Um deles fez um vídeo com as imagens dos polícias a arrancarem-lhe o filho dos braços e a atirarem-no ao chão e dos momentos seguintes, com a criança em estado de choque ao colo de uma agente a ver o pai a ser algemado e a ser posto no interior do carro-patrulha da PSP.

O escândalo que as imagens provocaram nas redes sociais levaram a PSP escolher o Facebook para tornar pública a sua versão dos factos. A polícia diz que o cidadão injuriou o agente, que por sua vez chamou reforços para o prender, "com o maior cuidado possível" e "sem ser possível verificar qualquer imagem de violência".
